Chapter 481: Xing Family Rain and Mist Terrace
"Sima Yuqing, stop it! Don't hurt his life!"
The Xing family is powerful, yet they have been able to survive for a long time in the ancient universe. On the one hand, this is because every member of the Xing family is powerful, and on the other hand, it is also related to their nature of doing things for a reason and not killing indiscriminately.
It is said that all things have spirits, and there is always a glimmer of hope for life and death.
These are the words left by the ancestor of the Xing family who had achieved supreme combat power. He warned the descendants of the Xing family that if you do things to leave a glimmer of hope for others, you will also leave a glimmer of hope for yourself.
The Xing family followed suit and have been obeying this admonition to this day.
However, Sima Yuqing didn't listen at all.
The two little thrush cubs had no sense of crisis about the impending danger, but the mother thrush noticed it.
But the spear was so fast that it had already reached the thick vest of one of the little iron-eating beasts.
Just as the gun was about to pierce the cub's body and everyone in the villa was staring at this scene with their hearts in their throats, the little cub suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
"Gone? How could it be gone? I was about to succeed!"
After the shocking scene, the female iron-eating beast lost its desire to eat instantly. It didn't expect that this human would kill it.
"roar!"
The female beast stood up, her fat body standing upright like a human. She raised her paws and roared like a bear, and her body suddenly became huge.
The iron-eating beast, which was only half the size of a normal human, suddenly became three or four times larger. Its hair became hard, and the innocent look in its black eye sockets turned scarlet and bloodthirsty.
It leaped up with all its might towards Sima Yuqing's position and instantly arrived in front of Sima Yuqing.
Sima Yuqing was just feeling proud of himself for almost escaping the situation when he suddenly felt a heat in front of his eyes, and the next second his chest was shattered.
The entire person's spine and chest ribs were shattered. The person fell to the ground, in pain but unable to moan or ask for help. Even when he breathed, pieces of flesh came out of his mouth.
He could feel his vitality slipping away. If he didn't receive effective treatment, he would die within ten minutes.
The female beast struck, and then picked up the spear from Sima Yuqing's hand, clamped the spear between her two sharp claws, put it into her mouth and began to chew.
Hearing the mother iron-eating beast biting the spear in its mouth and making the crisp sound like eating bamboo shoots, the remaining four people felt a chill down their spines.
This iron-eating beast was so strong that Xing Lei and the others could not help but reveal a little greed in their eyes. However, they did not want to do anything without confidence. They were not sure that they could easily injure a god of war-level warrior like this.
The mother beast had no intention of killing all the beasts. After seriously injuring Sima Yuqing, she did not attack again. She threw the iron-eating beast cub beside her behind her neck and then strolled into the depths of the bamboo forest.
The spiritual energy there was visible to the naked eye, and further in was the belly of the spiritual river. With the previous experience as a lesson, they had no plans to get closer for the time being.
Kong Min and Qiao Wuhua looked at each other and were very conflicted about whether to save Sima Yuqing.
Saving him might not necessarily earn the Sima family's goodwill, but not saving him might mean having one less opponent in the fight.
"Help, save me."
Xing Shuang frowned and thought for a while. After getting Xing Lei's consent, he took out a pill and gave it to him to swallow.
After swallowing the pill, although Sima Yuqing's injuries were not fully recovered, at least he no longer vomited blood from his mouth. As long as he recovered, he would be sent back to the Sima family's residence, and the Sima family's healing ability people would treat him.
Since then, Villa District No. 3 has never been peaceful. Every day, people with special abilities from various families in the Ancient Universe Kingdom come here to hunt for treasures, and secondly, because they heard that special beasts have appeared, they come to try their luck and see if they can pick up a high-level evolved life form out of thin air to be their own fighting beast.
The news that the Rong and Huo families had captured the cubs of the divine beast, the War Wolf, was also passed on to Hua Jianming and others by the psychics who came to Villa No. 3.
The little wolf was caught.
This made Hua Jianming and the others very worried. Although this wolf cub never participated in their hunting operations and was aloof and rarely communicated with them, it was a contracted beast connected to Hua Yang's soul.
Moreover, the Wolf Warriors were proud and would rather die than bow their heads. Moreover, even if they bowed their heads, the Wolf Warriors cubs who had a soul contract with Hua Yang would not recognize their master. By then, those people would probably deduce some clues.
Once the news that Hua Yang is dead but not yet alive spreads, when she comes back, there is no guarantee that what happened more than four years ago will not happen again.
However, they still needed the protection of the Tree of Life in Villa No. 3 and had no way to save the little wolf cubs.
In the ancient universe, Xing Lie was assassinated by a mysterious person on his way home from his ancestral land. The assassin escaped through a space gap after being severely injured.
Xing Lie pursued the energy in the space gap and discovered that the direction the assassin fled was the blue planet where the various families had descended to fight for the treasure.
Along the way, there were three waves of assassins, one of which launched a suicide attack in order to complete the assassination.
Unfortunately, after Xing Lie was promoted to the level of God of War, his devouring ability increased greatly. As long as the energy is within the level of God of War, no matter how violent it is, it will be bound and swallowed.
He was assassinated in three waves, escaped with serious injuries in two waves, and died in the last wave of suicide attacks, but Xing Lie was safe and sound.
To make matters worse, as soon as they arrived at the gate of the Xing family mansion, the Xing family guards saw Xing Lie returning, bowed respectfully, and then informed him in a panic.
His mother, Hua Lunong, the wife of Xing Ye, the head of the Xing family, was suddenly poisoned.
"Poisoned? What kind of poison? Have you asked a healing person to treat him?" Xing Lie frowned. He encountered assassinations one after another before he even got home. It was conceivable that the purpose of that person was to prevent him from returning to the Xing family.
But when he got home, his mother was poisoned. It seemed that the person behind the scenes wanted to make him helpless at this time, or to give him a warning.
It is impossible to say that there is no connection between the two.
In the whole incident, there are only two people who have the motive for the incident, except for his elder brother Xing Lan and his mother Han Dan.
This time he returned and advanced to the God of War level, and his father had already spread the news that he would pass the position of heir to him.
It seems that they are anxious.
"Let's go to Yuwu Terrace. I want to visit my mother." Xing Lie had just finished speaking when he saw the guard beside him looking embarrassed.
"But, young master, the master told you to go see him first when you come back."
"You go and tell him to wait, or come to Yuwutai to find me." After saying that, he took a stride and walked towards Yuwutai where Hua Lunong lived.
Yuwu Terrace is the most luxurious and largest house in the backyard of the Xing family mansion. Xing Ye and Hua Lunong have been living in it since they got married.
But after they got married, Xing Ye was driven out of Yuwutai by Hua Lunong after Han Dan climbed into bed with him. Since then, Hua Lunong has been the only one living in Yuwutai.
Moreover, anyone can visit Yuwutai to pay a visit to Hua Lunong, the mistress of the house, except Xing Ye.
Among the entire Xing family, only Xing Ye was excluded from the meeting list by Hua Lunong.
There is a pair of unicorn lions at the gate of Yuwu Terrace, which symbolizes power. After entering, you will see the scenery of mountains. If you come here for the first time, you will be confused by the scenery in front of you.
There is a bridge across a large front yard with beautiful scenery. After crossing the bridge, the scenery in the backyard immediately changes into a scene of a small bridge and flowing water.
The buildings, pavilions, and towers here have a sense of artistic conception that is perfectly laid out.
I think the person who designed the Rain and Mist Terrace put a lot of effort into it.
In the master bedroom of the Yuwutai courtyard, Hua Lunong lay palely leaning against the head of the bed, reading the book in her hands.
"Madam, the young master is back!"
Hua Lunong's originally pale face showed a rare glow after hearing the news. "Really? My Lie'er is back? Hurry, bring him to see me... Oh no no no, wait!
Close the door quickly so I can hide my ugly face."
At this moment, the door had just been closed, and it was opened again a hundred days later.
"Mother, my child is back. How are you?"
Hua Lunong had just gotten up from the bed when she saw Xing Lie had arrived. He put on his coat and sat down at the small table.
"You kid, even though everyone in Yuwutai is your own, you still have to follow the rules."
"You have been forced to wander outside these years and have not seen your mother for a long time. It's time for you to remember the rules."
With Xing Lie staring at her face, Hua Lunong felt worried. "You've heard about it, too. I'm afraid my poisoning this time is not that simple. But it's good that you're back. As long as you're back, the mother and son won't be able to do anything."
"Mother, this matter is not that simple." He looked at the maid beside him and suddenly asked with a serious face, "Have you asked someone to treat mother?"
"Young Master, the best healing psychic in the clan has come and treated Madam for several days. Although she is in better condition now, the source of the poison has not yet been found."
"So there is no solution?"
The maid bowed her head and said in a deep voice, "Yes, it is because this servant is useless!"
"Lie'er, Xiaoxun is my maidservant during the dowry, this is not her fault."
"Mother, let me try." The black devouring power emerged in Xing Lie's hand, and he wanted to touch Hua Lunong's wrist.
When Hua Lunong saw the black energy appearing in Xing Lie's hand, she was shocked and filled with joy. "Lie'er, have you awakened your second ability? Devouring?"
"Yes, mother. Let me detoxify you first!"
Xing Lie was about to grab Hua Lunong's wrist, but Hua Lunong pushed him away in panic. "No! Lie'er, anyone can do it, but you can't detoxify me!"
"Why?"
"Let me ask you, does anyone else know that you have awakened your second superpower?"
"Uncle, Uncle Yan, and the Xing family members who were sent to Earth."
"What about the people from other families who went to Earth?"
"Maybe." Xing Lie's memories seemed to be drawn into a whirlpool, and a trace of confusion and puzzlement appeared in his eyes. There seemed to be a woman's figure lingering in his mind.
"The Devouring Power is a power that can only be awakened by those with unlimited potential in my Xing family. If you can awaken it, you will be a one-in-a-million genius in my Xing family. No one in the entire Ancient Universe can match this.
I haven't found the source of the poison, nor have I measured its toxicity. Although the Devouring Power is powerful, I can't gamble with your future."
Xing Lie frowned, "Mother, don't worry, my special ability can definitely cure your poison! Let me try!"
“No.”
"Knock, knock, knock!" Someone knocks on the door.
"Come in."
"Madam, the master has broken in."
"What? What is he doing here?"
Xing Lie's lips twitched slightly, "Mother, calm down. It was my father who wanted to see me, and I was anxious to see my mother first, so I asked the servants to let him come here to see me."
"You little bastard, if I didn't know your character, I would have thought that you and your father had teamed up to deceive me!"
After just a few words, the weakness in Hua Lunong's pale face became even more severe.
Xing Lie took out the energy gems he brought from his ancestral land and gave them to Hua Lunong. "Mother, these energy gems are of little use to me now. You are poisoned. If you can't suppress it, you should quickly raise your ability level, and it will be able to control it a little."
Hua Lunong took it, with some worry in her eyes, "I understand, you go see your father. I'm tired and don't want to see your father. In a few days, your grandfather will go to the Rong family and ask the head of the Rong family to come and detoxify me.
Come back when the time comes."
Xing Lie nodded and left alone.
On the small bridge connecting the front yard and the inner yard of Yuwu Terrace, Xing Ye, wearing training clothes, stood alone at the bridge head, his eyes looking towards the inner yard of Hualunong.
He seemed to want to see clearly the person who has always lived in his heart through such a lookout.
"Your mother still won't see me?"
Xing Lie appeared behind him in black clothes without saying a word, but the man already knew it was his aura.
"yes."
"Her poison has been cured?"
Xing Lie suddenly fell silent. He used to resent why his father didn't deal with Han Dan even though he knew that he took advantage of his father's drunkenness to get to the top.
Given my father's personality, there were many women who used various excuses to approach him as the head of the family in the early years, but he dealt with them all with ruthless means.
Only Han Dan didn't.
Later he figured it out, it was because of Xing Lan.
An unexpected event, no one expected Xing Lan's arrival.
However, for a big family to allow a concubine to give birth to a eldest son before the wife gave birth to a legitimate son was undoubtedly a slap in the face of his mother Hua Lunong.
This is also the reason why he has always been at odds with his father.
However, in the past, Xing Lan was humble and polite, and he was always a harmless person with no potential in front of others. Xing Lie never took him seriously.
But Han Dan took advantage of the rift between her mother and father, won people's hearts everywhere, and even recruited several members of the Xing family's side branches to serve as her backers.
But since all this did not pose a threat to him and his mother, he never paid attention to it. He just didn't like the father who didn't even do anything to protect the rights of mother and son.
But more than a decade ago, Xing Lan's vicious frame-up almost pushed him into the abyss. This time, he even attacked his mother.
"Instead of caring about whether my mother had been detoxified, why didn't my father care about who had poisoned her?"
Xing Ye frowned, "After not seeing you for so many years, you don't even know how to talk to your elders?"
"Han Dan used your drunkenness to get to the top, but you didn't expect Xing Lan to be there. You miscalculated. But have you ever cared about your mother's reputation?
"The universe is full of supernatural powers. I, Xiao Wu, Yan Suan and others did not die on the battlefield, but were almost killed by your gentle and polite eldest son Xing Lan. Have you ever thought about why?"
"Nonsense, your elder brother's abilities are not as good as yours, and his capabilities are not even one ten-thousandth of yours, how could he harm you?"
